spotting scope strait or angled?

[benjamin199]

I am looking at getting the Nikon 82 ED field scope, and want to make sure I get the one best suited for me. Which body is easiest to use at the range the strait or angled? Scope will be used with a spotter and when practicing alone,mostly prone with some bench shooting mixed in).
Thanks for your input.

Get the angled one, much easier to use.

If you are shooting prone, the angled eye piece is needed. If you are using it to spot from a tripod or pistol box, get the straight eye piece.

I have both and find the straight one MUCH easier to find the target with.
